Abstract

In this paper, a novel optimization method called Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) for solving the ELD and CEED problem is presented. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the 10 and 40 units considering the valve point loading effect test has been executed. The solving the Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) and Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch (CEED) are crucial task in modern power systems. The aim of ELD is assigning the best generation scheduling for minimum cost generation with satisfying the load demands while the CEED means assigning the best generation scheduling for cost and emission reduction simultaneously. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is compared with other algorithms.
